Volvo has bought a 100% stake in the company Polestar, Volvo's partner in sports and «hot» version of the brand.
Staff Polestar Performance (except for the racing team, which still belongs to the former owner of the brand Christian Dahl) joins the company Volvo, wish to leave the motor racing.
Polestar in connection with the expressed intention to come to grips with the «charged» modification of the hybrid models of Volvo. For example, we are talking about an exclusive version of the SUV XC90 new generation.
According to the publication Autocar, «hot» version of the XC90 will keep two-liter under the hood «turbochetverku» and an electric motor, but their returns (now 400 hp..) Will increase substantially. The same fate awaits the next generation of the sedan S60, the premiere of which is scheduled for 2017. It is possible that Polestar «charge» and crossover XC60, as well as the hatchback V40, and along with the diesel variants of models with engines Drive-E.
Recall that in last year Polestar has successfully presented the «hot» version of the S60 sedan and the versatile V60. In this regard, it is not surprising that this year Volvo is planning to implement no less than 750 sedans and wagons from Polestar, and the next year to increase sales by at least one third.
